    Probably the first comic I saw these two interacting, cute. : 3

    I guess that bump magically gave her new language knowledge. Can't wait for the next comic. [Reply]

    mon dieu, elle parle joual!

    The question is, can she actually speak French-French? Someone might just be able to understand *that*. :P [Reply]

    They are pretty cute. Am pretty excited that this is going where we thought it would. [Reply]

    @Kit-kun, @Noka, in one of those panels she says that she forgot how to speak English (Thus, she's speaking back in French), and that she has something to tell to Winter, but then realizes she would not understand her...

    Seems to me... there's another twist involving whatever happened to Otra. My guess is that there are actually two Otras out there. [Reply]

    yay, Cute Wendy and Other Girl~ [Reply]

    Well Dr. Lucy is being rather seductive. She must still be turned on from that beating she took. [Reply]
    Draggy 2009/8/25 9:55pm
    SSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH- WENDY'S BACK! (At least that's what I gathered from Lucy's comment) The comic really is ending!

    On a side note, three years of French class finally pay off. [Reply]

    @the guy behind you

    GAH?!

    I thought that too. But then I thought I was an idiot, so I didn't wanna bring it up... [Reply]

    Jason 2009/8/25 11:35pm
    @Noka Actually, she's from Montreal! I suppose she already spoke French.

    I wish one year of 99s in Junior High School French had helped me understand this more.

    Oh, and Winter's parents were there! YES. [Reply]

    I refuse to believe this comic will end! Winter will get otra back in some way shape or form! [Reply]
    Meia 2009/8/26 2:23am
    forgot how to speack english, but still able to undestand it ?

    I do love Canadian accent ^^


    can't wait for the next comic [Reply]
    Shiroi 2009/8/26 3:35am
    Great, another mistery :P
    I really would like to think there's a solution to this really nasty situation T_T I wouldn't really like the comic to end like this...
    Although I know sometimes things has to end so I will accept the autor's decision :P

    BTW, can someone translate what she's saying? or what she's supposed to say at least :P [Reply]
    Wisknort 2009/8/26 3:41am
    @pas québécoise Yes she can. He said that Dave and Giz helped him out with translations.

    Interesting. I'm agreeing with the theory that there are two Otras... [Reply]
    Lolsworth 2009/8/26 7:11am
    That is proper French, albeit with what I assume is Quebecois dialect, which even real French people find confusing. [Reply]
    Shade_nox 2009/8/26 9:54am
    How very... soap operish.

    Doctor Lucy is she all right?

    Yes, but...

    *dramatic music plays*

    She can only speak Quebecer dialect French

    Dun, dun, dun [Reply]
    pas québécoise 2009/8/26 10:44am
    @Wisknort She (intentionally) isn't though. She's speaking Joual, which is a specific basilectal form of Quebec French. :)

    I was wondering whether she could speak 'proper' French, which other cast members would probably be more likely to understand. It's a nice touch in any case! [Reply]
    KitKatMuffin 2009/8/26 12:47pm
    Poor Winter... [Reply]
    meep 2009/8/26 2:00pm
    That is not the french I learned. D: [Reply]
    Poopinablanket 2009/8/26 2:20pm
    @Alexlayer You know, that seems like it's pretty likely too. I mean, Otra runs off, then gets captured, and they replace her with another Otra. Then they tell an elaborate lie to put Winter out of commission, and HappyCo has no more problems ever. Yumi is the only one that actually knows the secret, but before she tells anyone her TERRIBLE SECRET ABOUT WINTER'S SIDEKICK she gets bonked on the head. Then, she wakes up, and right before she can tell Lucy the TERRIBLE SECRET ABOUT WINTER'S SIDEKICK it turns out she can only speak French. I don't think that everything is as it seems. [Reply]

    I've tried to post an English translation three times, and it keeps refusing to show up. >.< [Reply]
    BG 2009/8/26 3:11pm
    I'm pretty impressed with Josh's grasp of that dialect. And I love the shot of Winter outside thinking. [Reply]
    Adam M 2009/8/26 7:56pm
    Got in touch with Josh, and he fixed the problem that was keeping me from posting the translation. Thanks, Josh!

    After running Yumi's words through Babel Fish & Google Translate, looking up a Quebecois swear word, and making some guesses:

    Miss Winter!? The sidekicks... they... I wasn't able to tell her what's happening!* We have to find her!

    We must... we... wait a minute, what? (to herself:) Little yellow boat rain in Spain... OH NO! I've forgotten how to speak English!

    Fuck! Now what do I do? It's very important that I speak with Winter, but she won't understand anything I say!

    (to Lucy, blushing): ...okay

    * Maybe "tell her who the Queen is" if Babel Fish's "who is the master key" wasn't just nonsense. [Reply]
    Wheee 2009/8/26 11:57pm
    @BG
    He sad on the bottom of the page that he had help with it. :S [Reply]
    Rik 2009/8/27 1:32am
    @BG I will agree that the last panel totally made the comic though. [Reply]
    Wisknort 2009/8/27 1:53am
    Whoops. I thought that was Otra. I saw the sword and figured it must be her. >_> [Reply]
    BostezoRIF 2009/8/27 3:36am
    @Nekomata

    I approve too. [Reply]
    Crys 2009/8/27 9:50am
    @Adam M It wouldn't let me post one either, glad someone got it up.

    A little bit ago I saw a page which seemed to be removed from the archives. Part of it was then reused in #691 - did anyone else see that?

    Anyways, the fox sidekick #686 replaced Otra, which Yumi saw. I guess Josh was going to show us this differently to start with? [Reply]
    RGB 2009/8/27 10:57pm
    He said he'd be updating regularly now, right? [Reply]
    Chariset 2009/8/28 1:48am
    Poor little Yumi. Attacking her is like kicking a kitten. You just don't do that unless you're a complete monster [Reply]
    Cid 2009/8/28 12:49pm
    @Crys Where did you see that at? [Reply]
    Crys 2009/8/28 2:31pm
    @Cid On the site, as a page? I almost think I'm crazy, but I swear I saw it, haha. It had the same insane screaming Yumi at the end, but the beginning was a little different. [Reply]
    They 2009/8/30 3:38pm
    I heard this happened to a guy after an operation. He forgot his mother's tongue and could only speak French, his secondary language, but he returned to normal soon. His brain apparantly didn't get enough oxygen during the operation, and some parts of it didn't function right for a while. [Reply]
    Twad 2009/9/1 9:22pm
    for those who dont know, most of the french she speaks is the typical french slang used in the Quebec province... and im one of those.

    Some slang translation;

    "'sti" and "tabarnak" are swear words (same "use" as fuck!, shit!),
    "Ayoye" is the equivalent to "Ouch"
    "ouské" is the reduced form of "ou est-ce qu'est" wich means "where is"
    ..
    The earlier post of Adam M covers the rest pretty well.
    [Reply]
    Adam M 2009/9/1 11:32pm
    @Twad Thanks for the extra translation help. :-) [Reply]
    ???? 2009/10/19 10:27pm
    @Noka Wasn't she from Montreal Canada? So wouldn't she already know French? The bump must have made her forget English.



    Also, my Father once told me an interesting story about a French woman who hit her head, and without ever hearing English, suddenly started speaking it when she woke in the hospital. I'm not certain of it's validity, but it certainly seems relevant. [Reply]
    doodledeeeeeeeeeeeee 2009/11/7 1:12pm
    this sounds pretty good [Reply]
    Trae 2009/12/6 4:27pm
    No, it didn't give her new language knowledge; when we met her, she said she came from Montreal, and she said something in French too. She must have already known French. [Reply]
    PGO 2010/3/13 10:18am
    She could have said «sidekicks» instead of «faire-valoirs» It would ha fit much more the Quebec French since their is many English word in our speaking. [Reply]
    Sora Ryu 2010/3/26 11:51am
    glad yomi, lucy and winter are all alive [Reply]

    Um, so, what? Anyone know what the hell Yumi was saying? [Reply]
    Zandor 12 2010/6/12 1:26pm
    @Morganita

    Read the rest of the comments, there's a rough translation in there near the end. [Reply]

    Wooohooo! Merci de bien interpréter nos sacres XD [Reply]
